In the work of phthysiologists and general practitioners need to abandon previously prevailing simplified stereotypes of diagnosis of TB. Knowledge of trends in TB epidemiology, in particular, a high risk of developing it in HIV-infected and socio-maladjusted persons will help doctors of all specialties to better identify patients with TB.
